Patent CA-2611600-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MENZEL JOHANNES
IPC: C10L3/10
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: A method and a device for the absorption of pressurised natural gases which contain at least hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide, using a physically active absorption agent. The natural gas containing acid gas is first conveyed to an absorption column, where it is directly contacted with the physical detergent, and the physical detergent absorbs the acid gas, leaving only a residue. The charged detergent is conveyed to a first separator and the working pressure reduced, a part of the acid gas being released from the detergent. The at least one part of the charged detergent is conveyed to a stripping column, the working pressure being further reduced. The residue of the released acid gas from the detergent is desorbed in said stripping column.  The detergent thus regenerated is returned, at least in part, to the absorption column. The acid gas leaving the first separator is conveyed to another absorption column, in which the part of the released acid gas containing predominantly hydrogen sulphide is reabsorbed with regenerated detergent and mixed with the charged detergent from the first separator. The remaining acid gas, not reabsorbed from the absorption column downstream of the first separator, is recovered as stripping gas. Said stripping gas is used in the stripping column for removing the hydrogen sulphide from the detergent supplied to the stripping column. The finely regenerated solvent is divided into two partial flows, one of which is conveyed to the absorption column downstream of the first separator stage while the other is conveyed to the absorption column in the flow of natural gas.

Title: Mixer and method of mixing
Inventor: BROWN CHRIS
IPC: B01F27/74
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: A dynamic mixer in which two members (1,2) are rotated relative to each other about a predetermined axis (XX), the members having facing surfaces (15, 16) which extend axially and between which is defined a mixing chamber through which a flow path extends between an inlet (7) for material to be mixed and an outlet (8). An array of two or more mixing formations is defined on at least one of the facing surfaces (15, 16) which extend radially towards the facing surface of the other element (15, 16) and which act to mix material within the mixing chamber, and which extend axially generally parallel to the axis. A  mixing formation thus defined is configured to provide a constricting flow passage followed by an expanding flow passage to material present in the mixing chamber as the first and second members are relatively rotated, with the mixing formations located around the axis on any plane perpendicular to the axis so as to provide a generally net balance of the radial loads imparted by material present in the space between the surfaces. The material within the mixing chamber is subjected to high extensional and or shear stresses arising from the circumferential drag flow induced between the closely separated facing surfaces, while being permitted to flow axially between the widely separated flowing surfaces. Dispersive mixing and distributive mixing effects are thereby obtained.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for analyzing an oil and gas production project with a computer system. Using a computer program, a user inputs characteristics of systems for the project and inputs characteristics of the expected production of the project, such as production life (years) and the production rate of the project. Based on the characteristics, the program generates a plurality of projected case profiles, each of which defines characteristics of the systems for a period of the production life of the project. A controlling case is then created using information from the plurality of case profiles. In the controlling case, each of the systems is analyzed to determine in which profile the system has the greatest cost, weight, area, or other criterion.  From the analysis, characteristics of the systems are generated for the project that best meet the expected production over the entire production life of the project.

Filed: 2000-09-12
Abstract: An intrinsic gauging device for a ferrule type tube fitting (10) of the type having a coupling nut (14), a coupling body (12) and at least one ferrule (32), includes a precisely formed marking on the coupling body that is visually perceptible when the coupling is in a finger tight position, and that is covered or visually imperceptible or otherwise has a predetermined relationship with the coupling nut when the fitting has been initially pulled-up. In a preferred form, the marking is realized as a precision groove (50) or recess machined into a surface of the coupling body. The groove can be made more easily visually perceptible such as by roughening or knurling the surface, or coloring the surface, for example. The groove defines an edge (50b) at a precise position that corresponds to a predetermined axial displacement of the nut relative to the body for initial pull-up. The marking may also be formed with a precise dimension such as an axial length to provide a second edge that corresponds to a predetermined axial displacement of the nut relative to the body beyond initial pull-up for fitting assemblies that are remade.

Inventor: SHI JESS W
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 2006-10-19
Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and circuitry for monitoring and adjusting a compliance voltage in an implantable stimulator devices to an optimal value that is sufficiently high to allow for proper circuit performance (i.e., sufficient current output), but low enough that power is not needlessly wasted via excessive voltage drops across the current output circuitry. The algorithm measures output voltages across the current source and sink circuitry during at least periods of actual stimulation when both the current sources and sinks arc operable, and adjusts the compliance voltage so as to reduce these output voltages to within guard band values preferably indicative for operation in transistor saturation. The output voltages can additionally be monitored during periods between stimulation pulses to improve the accuracy of the measurement, and is further beneficial in that such additional measurements are not perceptible to the patient.
